5.0 out of 5 stars Cuts to the chase!, April 22, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Excel 2000 for Windows for Dummies Quick Reference (Plastic Comb)
Having to learn new versions of data manipulators can be a nightmare when your deadlines are gone before you're given a project -- this gem cuts to the chase! Without a lot of fanfare, tells you exactly what to do, with just enough pictures to let you know you're in the right place. It's filled in a lot of blanks, and I'm now ordering the Access 2000 version. Try it, you'll like it.

2.0 out of 5 stars I was so disappointed!!! Not at all what I had expected..., March 13, 2007

This review is from: Excel 2000 for Windows for Dummies Quick Reference (Plastic Comb)
From the information I read prior to purchase, I inferred that I would learn how to edit spreadsheets I received from others, at least to reformat them. On the back cover, it says: "And you'll get easy-to-spot explanations of how to share worksheets..." I still haven't spotted these explanations.

Also, to me, a book called, "...for Dummies" implied simplicity. This book seemed too advanced for the title.
